While Margiela's visions likely deserve a more radical treatment onscreen, Holzemer's film offers perhaps the most complete insight yet into one of fashion's most elusive geniuses.

What Holzemer loses in hard-edged critique he gains in intimacy and warmth.

RogerEbert.com

Apart from its ample eye candy, the film deftly illustrates how one can live a life of integrity in any profession, provided one has the guts to break the mold.

Rated: 3/4

Holzemer offers a compelling portrait of a creative genius who worked on his own terms and put everyone else out of fashion with his edgy and provocative designs.

The direct involvement of Margiela may have forced the director's hand in tone and structure, but this type of almost hagiography feels fitting of a designer with less energy.
